I've suffered health anxiety on off for 12 years. After several hospital tests over the years they have found nothing wrong although I do have controlled high blood pressure and an irregular heartbeat which does not help regarding my anxiety although people tel me I'm healthy ! It's hard for my brain to take on what people are saying and live in fear of something going to happen I get loads of symptoms all of which are mentioned in tgis forum, but I am a checker always check my eyes my tongue my neck my lgs arms hands u name it I check I no every blemish mole freckle but the worst one I check is my pulse take today felt great was at work then suddenly out the blue felt slow funny heady strange felt as if I was goin to collapse wel felt my pulse in wrist couldn't find it felt pressed so of course you can imagine got in a rite state thought this is it pulse weak fadin something gonna happen luckly I was goin home in half hr that was at 2 pm it is now 11 pm fel a lot better but scared wondering if it gonna happen again
I know exactly how you feel janet, I've had anxiety and panic attacks on and off for 5 or so years. Ive had blood tests, ecgs, xrays, ultrasounds, even taken myself to hospital as I was convinced I was having a heart attack. I still feel worried about it all being something more serious and like you im a checker, if anything tiny turns up thats new I spot it, and I woukd say I check my pulse randomly most days of the week when I feel bad, I hope you feel better soon x
Hi isn't it just awful, I'm too like you, every day I worry at every little thing I feel and it's parylising! Even though we know nothing is wrong it must be something in our brain telling us otherwise! I lay in bed and tell my symptoms I'm ignoring them and they go away but sometimes they just take over!
I hope you feel peace soon xx
